Find hotels in Strauch from £47

The best area to stay in Strauch is generally around the Bärwalder See, particularly near Klitten or Boxberg, as these offer the best access to the lake and its facilities.

The Bärwalder See is the largest artificial lake in Saxony and is the main attraction in the Strauch area. The northern shore, particularly around Klitten, offers a range of holiday homes and guesthouses. This area is known for its well-maintained walking and cycling paths that circle the lake, as well as several sandy beaches and designated swimming areas. There are also opportunities for water sports like sailing and paddleboarding.

Families will find the areas around Klitten and Boxberg particularly appealing. These locations provide direct access to family-friendly beaches with shallow entry points and playgrounds. The extensive network of cycling paths means children can safely explore the area on bikes, and there are often ice cream parlours and casual eateries along the routes.

For couples seeking a relaxing getaway, staying near the quieter parts of the lake, perhaps a little further from the main beach areas, can be ideal. Many accommodations offer lake views and a peaceful setting, superb for enjoying sunsets over the water or quiet walks along the shore.

The best time to visit Strauch is during the late spring and summer months, from May to September, when the weather is at its most pleasant for outdoor activities.

During this period, you'll experience warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours, making it ideal for exploring the surrounding countryside and enjoying the local attractions. May and June offer lush greenery and blooming landscapes, while July and August provide the warmest weather, superb for lake activities or hiking. September brings slightly cooler temperatures and the start of autumn colours, which can be quite picturesque.

For those interested in hiking and cycling, the summer months are perfect. The trails around the Friedewalder Teich and through the Moritzburg Forest are easily accessible and enjoyable in the warmer weather. You'll find plenty of opportunities for lakeside strolls and picnics.

Families travelling with children will also find the summer months most convenient. The good weather allows for full enjoyment of attractions like the Moritzburg Castle and the Wildgehege Moritzburg (wildlife park), where animals are more active.
